This species will remain unrecognizable until it has been 

 properly described. Its present position among the known 

 species is purely conjectural. Coloration alone does not furnish 

 safe diagnostic characters in this genus, especially in the sub- 

 genus Aleiodes, to which this species may pertain. 



Rhogas (Aleiodes) mimicus sp. nov. 



Stramineous; antennae ferruginous, darker apically; upper 

 borders of pro- and mesopleurse piceous; abdomen ferruginous, 

 with broad lateral borders of basal half of first segment piceous. 



Male, length, 3.5 millimeters. 



Head viewed from above transverse, strongly narrowed be- 

 hind eyes; eyes large and prominent, distance between them 

 about equal to distance from occipital carina to antennal sockets ; 

 vertex opaque and shagreened; occipital carina angulate at 

 middle ; length of vertex back of ocelli greater than length of the 

 oblique, exposed cheek margin and subequal to length of entire 

 ocellar area; ocelli of medium size, distance from ocelli to eyes 

 somewhat greater than interocellar distance and subequal to the 

 long diameter of an ocellus; distance between posterior ocelli 

 much less than the long diameter of an ocellus, anterior ocellus 

 distinctly farther removed. 



Face to mouth a little longer than wide, eye margins below 

 more strongly retreating than above, surface shagreened and 

 slightly elevated medially; mouth opening small, subcircular; 

 clypeus narrow, a little swollen, basal suture highly arched, its 

 length slightly greater than its width; clypeal pits distant from 

 eyes about four times their diameter. Head viewed from side 

 with face above and clypeus very slightly prominent; cheek 

 narrow, about one fourth diameter of eye, its outer margin 

 parallel to eye margin; malar space rather small, its length 

 greater than width of cheek; eye large, broadly subelliptical, 

 slightly broader on lower half. Maxillary palpi slender, terete, 

 not reaching tegulse ; third and fourth joints subequal, fifth and 

 sixth subequal and shorter than fourth. 



Antennse distinctly longer than body, scape short and very 

 broad apically, length but slightly greater than apical width; 

 funicle more than half length of scape and strongly narrowed 

 apically ; length of middle flagellar joints three times the width. 



Mesonotum scarcely trilobate, middle lobe narrowly, but not
